The musicians held an auction.
The evening of May 29 ended online charity auction , where the Kalush Orchestra sold its trophy, which won the Eurovision-2022. This was reported in the Telegram channel “Eurovision Ukraine”.
The auction was conducted live on Instagram by showman and volunteer Serhiy Prytula.
The musicians received $ 900,000 for a crystal microphone. The money will go to the PD-2 drone complex for the Ukrainian army.
Also, the leader of the Kalush Orchestra Oleg Psyuk sold his iconic pink panama hat at auction.
It will be recalled that Kalush Orchesta at the end of its performance in the final of the competition called to help Ukraine and save Azovstal . As a result, there were fears that the group could be disqualified, as political slogans are banned at Eurovision. At the same time, the European Language Union has stated that it considers calls for peace and assistance to Ukraine to be humanitarian, not political.
Kalush Orchesta scored 631 points, with 439 points given by the audience. The victory of our country's representatives means that Ukraine has the right to hold a competition next year.
